Active Child
Pitchfork basically panned Active Child’s new album giving it a 7.2. Personally it’s one of my favorites of this year and it deserves at least an 8.2 For anyone who like Austra, Bjork or James Blake.

Winnie Mixtapes
I caught you a delicious bass. We have some mixes for you.
First up Chicago’s The Cool Kids, with a mixtape named perhaps to answer the, “is hip hop dead” question. The first track is the second track on the mixtape, which is straight up fire. They have a new single, “The Delivery Man” out now.
The Cool Kids – That’s Stupid The Mixtape (23min)
This one is for lovers of deep hypnotic crunchy techno beats. Montreal’s The Mole is playing Fabric in London next Saturday, September 6th.
The Mole – Live At Fabric (33min)
Tittsworth has recently released his first full length album, which has been three years in the making. Pitchfork has panned the album citing “too little, too late”. They argue that the Baltimore Club genre isn’t the freshest thing right now, which i’d agree with on a dj / music nerd, blog level.
I’d argue that the dance floor doesn’t lie.
Full tracklisting at Discobelle
